The paranoid is extremely cautious and sensible to natural dangers, so much that the paranoid can evade it for some time and gets to know when you are going to lose your ability. You also start knowing whether a poisoning ability is in play or not. But the paranoid cannot distinguish between becoming drunk or becoming poisoned.

After night 1, drunk/poisoned states only take effect at dawn because otherwise the paranoid couldn't properly learn it at night. On the negative side, the paranoid is always drunk/poisoned for a whole number of day+night cycles, e.g. when getting drunk temporarily by a poisoner, by a Minstrel or an Xaan. At next night, after becoming drunk/poisoned, the paranoid gets drunk/poisoned information.

• a poison ability is any ability that can cause any players to be poisoned at setup time or during the game.
• at night 1, drunk/poisoned state takes effect immediately.
• you don't start knowing about a drunkness ability to be in play.
• your info about a poisoning ability is probably false when you are Marionette, Drunk oder poisoned/drunk at night 1 (such as with No Dashii or Lleech).

You can also be poisoned/get drunk when dead but won't learn it.

Optional Rules

Optional: The Paranoid might learn at night 1, which player state they are informed about to obtain (or not obtain) at all dawns. This could be any player state, including death and quitting. The Paranoid also learns in their first night if an ability can cause this state. Without this rule, the Paranoid learns about poisoning abilities at night 1 but about both – drunkness and poisoning – at night 2 and later.

The imbecile refuses to use available character info.

Any number of Imbeciles can be in a setup.

The Imbecile character is only slightly different from the imbecile player state. The imbecile player state hides character swaps from the affected player. The unknowingness of the Imbecile character however ends when the character is swapped out and gets to see the new character (unless they also have the imbecile player state). Players who swap this way will not learn anymore what character they were (if they didn't already).

The imbecile token is just a placeholder. Imbecile players are like have the character of their ability which is also depicted in the grimoire. The Imbecile player usually should register as this character, especially when dead. In other cases, the story teller might also make the player arbitrarily register as Imbecile when it makes the game more interesting.

The unknown character shall be chosen by the story teller so that it can be guessed from nocturnal story teller interaction and with shared info or claims of other players.

The character of Imbecile players respects the logic/rules of the setup distribution. This means, double claims of characters that only exist once in a setup are still fishy.

The imbecile does not prevent alignment signals to be seen – or character signals that originate from other players. Different from the imbecile player state, the Imbecile character can be swapped for a new character and the character-induced imbecile state ends immediately. If the former Imbecile Player is not imbecile anymore, they will get the proper character signal for their new character.

It is very important that the story teller shows precise signals to the imbecile. Signals such as "good"/"evil", "yes"/"no" and 0,1,2… etc. must be distinguished. The imbecile is allowed to get instructions for how to act at night, anytime, according to their true ability. The story teller should tell the imbecile whether they need to choose people or characters or something else, how many, or whether not. However, the story teller might not tell the imbecile anything beyond those "input or time constraints" for acting.

Optional Rules

Optional: The story teller might give evil players the Imbecile ability's character as bluff. (Can be dangerous for evil players.)

Jinxes

Jinx Atheist: The Imbecile might have the Atheist ability.

The Therapist recognizes defective player states. Either for one specific player (who the therapist may choose at night) or generally for any player.

Any combination of state values can be chosen but you get only one binary answer. Drunk and poisoned are treated as separate properties like sober and healthy. Dead, alive, jinxed, mad, sane and misregistering are the other standard properties. Homebrew properties can be queried, such as drugged, deranged/prudent, fixed/agile, muted or schizophrenic.

The therapist may ask the story teller once per game about the current complete state of one specific player. You get to know all applicable state properties (which would yield a "yes").

At night, in order to query all players together, point at the story teller. Otherwise, point at a specific player. The story teller than shows a set or menu of state values. Point to all the state values that you want to query.

Examples of "misregistering" are the red hering of the Fortune Teller, Recluse, Spy, an undead Zombuul. A player also has a defect if just one of multiple abilities is defective (a defective Boffin ability) but not if the player has wrong information about themself such as the Marionette or the Lunatic.

The Outsider Drunk gives a yes for "drunk" in the same way as a puzzledrunk player would.

A dysinformed state (such as with Vortox) negates the info that the therapist gets ("yes" and "no" is switched).

The Psychatrist protects players against neuroses and psychoses (social, perceptual and behavioral constraints).

See persistent (state) impairment and curing. It is persistent when it would not go away when an in-play character dies.

The Psychatrist can treat/cure player states:

• dysinformed & dyseffective (deranged)
• consequences due to madness
• muted
• paralyzed
• schizophrenic
• imbecile
• but not: anti, ability-induced false beliefs

The Physician chooses 1 player early at night. The chosen player doesn't directly learn to be chosen. The Psychatrist also protects the chosen player tonight and today (the next day).

The chosen player is cured from permant consequences of madness, consequences of communication restrictions (such as mutedness and paralysis) and derangedness (dysinformed & dyseffective state). Conditional states, which (also) depend on the life of another player, cannot be cured.

Additionally, the protected player

• …cannot turn into a Schizo or Imbecile during the protection but into a Nihilist. All alignment and character signals must be correct during the protection.
• …when muted by the Censor or paralysed by the Sculptor, is not anymore until next dusk
• …when being a Mute, a Model or a Mummer, has a suspended ability until next dusk (while suspended, they lose any rewards from their ability, only when they claim it, but they don't lose them by violating a state condition)
• …it has no effect on the Traveller Double Agent

The Physician protects players against action and property defects.

See persistent state impairments and curing. Curing doesn't work for effects which depend on the life of in-play characters, e.g. the poisoning from a Poisoner, the drugging from a Drug Pusher, the derangedness from a Neurohacker, the madness from a Cerenovus/Harpy.

The physician can treat/cure player states:

• false registration (including accountability)
• drunk
• poisoned
• drugged
• sick
• unconscious
• but not: captive, jinxes

It does not cure communication restrictions such as the muted or paralyzed state or consequences of madness. See the Psychatrist instead.

Additionally, the protected player …

• …does not turn into the Outsider Drunk, Puzzledrunk or Sweetheart Drunk
• …when being a sabotaged executee, is not unconscious until next dusk

The Dowser can figure out the exact alignment of a player who is adjacent to another 2 known alive players. Reminiscent of a diode in circuits, the Dowsing rod only gives exact info into a constant (but unknown) direction, the dowsing direction.

The Dowser info is computed by mapping the Dowser's current alignment to 1 and the opposite alignment to 0 and computing alignment differences. The alignment difference is computed for the chosen player with each alive neighbour. From all differences, choose only the difference that is equal to 0 or 1 and show it to the Dowser. The (clockwise or counterclockwise) direction of the subtraction operation (called "dowsing direction") remains the same throughout the game but is not revealed.

Optional Rules

Optional: The dowsing direction might be arbitrary each time. This means, the Dowser always learns if 1 alive (but arbitrary) neighbour has an opposite or equal alignment. The story teller must corrrectly say whether this rule is used, at least if asked. (If unsure, say "no".)

The Demographer researches aging people and sleeps at night like all good kids do.

At day, tell the Demographer privately either the sum of ages of all alive evil players or 1 personal information (e.g. the gender/sex, a statistic (being ≤ median) or birthday interval in the year) of 1 alive evil player.

It could also be any other personal category or property that is partially revealing but not too revealing. I.e. the info usually should be k-anonymized with k > 1 so that no info is revealing alone.

Also interesting are responses to personal questions or statements (favourite color, favourite animal, favourite media type, learner type, etc.).

The Demographer info includes evil travellers.

It's recommended to use negative gender statements to describe 1 evil player. This is particularly reasonable when there is only one or two players who do not identify with conventional genders. If the summed age is too revealing (e.g. only one evil player left), use the gender/sex. If the gender is too revealing use the summed age.

The age summands of the sum are not shown to anyone.

The hairdresser is quick in making judgements about customers and is sometimes right when it comes to gender.

The hairdresser learns numbers of evil players in general, one for each category of player, dead and alive!

The Story Teller may assign one half of players as one sex and the other half as not the sex, only within the game. The definition may correspond to any category that the current players may exhibit, e.g. "left half = male, right half = not male".

The assignment can happen publicly or privately.

The numbers exclude Travellers.

Every night, the Hairdresser chooses 1 character. If this character is in play, they learn which gender/sex (male or female) the player does not have. If not in play, this can be any of "not male" or "not female".

As story teller, pay respect to players who neither want to be male nor female. When you include them into one positive category, this counts as a false number.

The Sleuth can test double claims by spying on people's private business. They either learn the player's actual good character or any good character that nobody actually has (technically including demon bluffs).

In the first night, the Sleuth learns a not-in-play good character. This should be a character that does not collide with the demon's or snitched bluffs.

A drunk/poisoned Sleuth may also see a false character that other players do actually have.

The Sleuth bypasses the (mis)registration of a good character player and sees the character that they actually have or that actually nobody has.

It is often a good idea to show the correct character of a good player at least once and give the same answer again (in order to restrict the obtained info). But you should also show at least 1 not-in-play character.

If the Sleuth points at a player that is genuinely a Minion or Demon, they get to see a good character that no player actually has. If they see a Recluse in this case, the Recluse is not in play.

When dysinformed or when Vortox is in play, the Sleuth always sees a good character that another player (not the chosen one) actually has.

The Detective tails specific players at night but needs to come up with their own interpretation of what is happening.

As the Detective, you may only choose starting with night 2. You can only choose alive players and not yourself. After you chose someone, you will always wake up directly after they have woken up and slept again. You see all the information from players that came before the point of time when you were killed by anyone at night. If the demon kills you and sees info or signals before that, you still see these info and signals before you were chosen to die. (You also get to see this information by waking up one last time, even when dead by now.) As soon as you were killed, you won't wake up anymore at night. A player may wake up several times at night, then the detective also will.

One way to think of detective's observed info/signals is that it happens simultaneously in game time to the other players who get it.

The detective is allowed to request the story teller to repeat the info/signals. The detective could use a "reeling" signal with the fingers to request a repetition.

When poisoned or drunk, you may wake up randomly (not directly after the tailed player) or not at all. And if you do, you may see anything or nothing at all. When you are dysinformed, it will be like a normal detective but who sees exactly the info or signals that the tailed player did not see.

Story telling a drunk/poisoned detective could be quite sophisticated. If the Detective chooses the same player at multiple nights, the seen info and signals should be consistent in some way. The night order might not have changed either, such that ability signals (e.g. the Fearmonger signal at night) should be sent after the detective and not before them when it also was sent after the detective at previous nights. Not waking up the Detective is possible but the Detective likely will notice being drunk which does not really help the evil.

The detective does never get additional info about the player and does not wake up anymore when the player:

• does not wake up at a night
• is drunk/poisoned
• has no night ability but wakes up due to the Fabled Illusionist

Players without night ability still can wake up at night, when they receive signals from the characters of other players.

No other character/ability is able to see what a Detective sees at night about another player, not even a second Detective or evil players with Eye Zero.

The mummer is an artist who silently immitates people or items.

See muted player state.

Conceptually similar to the Gambler: if the Mummer's behaviour satisfies the muted condition at one day, they may choose 1 character at the next night and get to know "yes" if the character is in play, else a "no". The Mummer doesn't learn the player who has an in play character. If they get a "no", the demon also gets to know that they are the Mummer.

At night 1, the Mummer always can choose 1 character and get a "yes" or "no".

If you are the story teller, you should answer questions of players regarding your interpretation/ruling of mutedness. If you deviate from the official definition in this almanac, explain your interpretation to the players before the game starts.

The Mute gets a high reward for satisfying the muted condition condition until late in the game.

"Half the players" refers both to the greater-equal half of players, e.g. 3 of 6 or 3 of 5 but not 2 of 5.

When the Story Teller notices the Mute player to violate the muted condition, the reward is lost.

If the Mute survives until the final day and the only remaining alive evil player is the demon then the Mute got to know the demon player plus their character at the final night.

Optional Rules

Optional: The Story Teller might impose a penality on the Mute, e.g. turning the Mute into a Farmer, making them unconscious or let them die at night when they violate their muted condition too much.

When the Model lives while all Townsfolk abilities are publicly known, the Model can end the game.

See paralyzed condition.

When the Story Teller notices a violation of the paralyzed condition once, the reward is lost.

Independent of violating paralysis or not, you can choose a Townsfolk character to become when you die. It may also be a setup-inconsistent choice.

The story teller restricts the character choice of the Model. The Model might become an official non-script Townsfolk. If the Story Teller used the Fabled Spoiler, they must stick to it and deny any excluded characters.

Optional Rules

Optional: The story teller might impose a penality on the Model player when they purposefully violate (or keep violating) the paralyzed state. E.g. they could turn into a Farmer, could become unconscious or die additionally at night.

The Vampire Hunter is relentlessly keen on ferreting the demon out.

See accountability.

On their first night, the story teller shows the Vampire Hunter the demon character.

On their 2nd and later nights, the Vampire Hunter chooses players before abilities can kill. If their chosen players are killed at this night+day, they will learn what character(s) account(s) for their death at the next night, if you are still alive at the next dusk.

The Vampire Hunter does not learn which players where killed by which of the shown characters.

As the Vampire Hunter, the player choice and accountability works in the same way as with the Angel of Death, except that you may choose yourself too.

If the Vampire Hunter chose themself, they will see the killer's character in the same night of or next night after the day of their death.

The Pope provides holy protection for at most one friend in the game.

At one night in the game, the Pope chooses 1 player (including themself). As long as the Pope lives, not poisoned and not dyseffective, this player cannot die, not from executions either. (The Assassin may not choose the protected player.) If the Pope has died or is poisoned, the holy protection is gone/suspended.

At the same night after the Pope has chosen, the chosen Player gets notified with a signal that the Pope has chosen them. This als happens when the Pope chose themself.

When the demon attacks the Pope, the Pope might die or not. If the Pope did not choose yet, it could be a good idea to save the Pope from death 1 time. But also, if the Pope is protected by any character such as the Tea Lady, a Monk or even by their own ability, the Pope might die when attacked by the demon (and to a lower probability than without protection). It's recommended to let the Pope die when the Pope chose themself and gets attacked by the demon. Reconsider your decision if this would end the game.

If the Pope chooses themself, it's effectively the opposite of a Soldier. The Pope only dies from a Demon.

When the Pope is protected by the Innkeeper (or Adulterator), the other chosen player must be drunk. The Innkeeper cannot choose two players when none of them can be drunk (a Pope + Beggar).

The Pope ability cannot be fake and cannot be a drunk, therefore it cannot be chosen for the Outsider Drunk or Marionette but the Pope can be everything else, e.g. poisoned, deranged or mad.

While the Pope is dyseffective, their chosen player's life is at the mercy of the story teller, exactly like a Tinker. There are two interpretations of the Pope's dyseffective protection: "can die before you" or "cannot not die before you" (i.e. must die before you). They may die any time, even at day, if the story teller wants it to happen, e.g. if the story teller disapproves of their behaviour. Or the dyseffective protection kills the player right before the Pope dies.

Jinxes

Jinx Assassin/Shredder: Players cannot choose a player for assassination who is protected by the Pope. (The Story Teller prompts the Assassin to make a new choice.)

Jinx with Characters who make their owner drunk: Players cannot get (or think to be) the Pope while they have a character that requires the player to be drunk, such as for the Drunk, Marionette or Punk.

The soulkeeper catches and retains souls.

A soulkeeper ability contains a list of abilities. A Soulkeeper may either choose 1 player with soulkeeper ability or otherwise use any collected abilities they have in the same night. In order to choose any of your collected abilities, choose yourself with the Soulkeeper ability.

The idea of the Soulkeeper is to choose 1 player to additionally gain their abilities when they die. Choosing a player does not change characters. A chosen alive player doesn't get additional abilities. However, after the Soulkeeper has decided a choice, the Soulkeeper appears like dead to abilities and cannot use abilities anymore. Players are oblivious about that (no death is declared by the story teller, it happens silently). Any abilities who only select alive players may not select the dead-registering Soulkeeper (the story teller refuses the choice like with a Monk who wants to choose dead players). During this apparent death, the Soulkeeper cannot nominate but can vote (without vote token). The Soulkeeper regains all previous abilities plus the new caught ability, when the selected player dies. The new ability of the chosen player is added to the abilities of the Soulkeeper.

If you choose a player of the opposite team as Soulkeeper, they will learn what player is the Soulkeeper.

When the Soulkeeper chooses an already dead player, the chosen player is resurrected (their original character is refreshed) and the soulkeeper abilities additionally transfer to them (but they do not refreseh). The soulkeeper dies and loses access to all collected abilities this way (but keep their character).

Only when a player with Soulkeeper ability really dies, the death is declared. If really dead, the Soulkeeper loses all collected abilities and does not regain abilities when other people die. When resurrected they start with an empty collection of abilities.

Only one player may have the soulkeeper ability at any time. When a new Soulkeeper character would be created/resurrected in the mid of a game while a Soulkeeper is in play and still active it behaves as if the soulkeeper player would choose the target player (and any old choice is discarded). When players are resurrected with the soulkeeper character, old soulkeeper players will die and transfer their abilities.

As Soulkeeper, if you get poisoned or drunk, your unconsciousness is suspended and you can use your collected abilities with a poisoned/drunk state. However, if your last chosen player dies while you have no ability, then that players abilities are lost for good. If you are unconscious or captive from another ability while the chosen player dies, you don't wake up (only when the unconscious or captive state is gone) but you obtain their abilities.

Jinx Pit-Hag: Can only choose alive players to create the Soulkeeper character.

The Theist emphasizes the free choice about the holy and the sin, freeing the game-related behaviour of players, i.e. whether they behave according to rules or not (good or bad). The theist believes that you get into paradise only if you choose to obey the devine (i.e. game rules or the rule creator).

The game is back to normal when the theist is drunk/poisoned or dies (the theist ability is disabled when dead). An in play atheist may get effective when this happens. The theist only may die from execution (when effective).

In a normal game, some abilities or actions are regulated by the story teller such as ignoring invalid votes or nomination errors. These regulations are not enforced by the story teller when the Theist is effective.

With the theist alive, the players watch over the rules. As the story teller, you may only refuse to play along when players actively object to the rule violation. The story teller should treat rule violations as if they wouldn't notice it and should not help players in noticing it. Especially because overt allowance of rule violations would confirm the theist. E.g. you may count votes silently in your head so that other players might not directly notice voting violations to have an effect. You may allow a Zealot to not vote when they must or a Butler to vote when they must not.

Of course, players may also cheat to get the theist executed (and they won't lose when the theist is dead at the end of the game). However, killing the theist will not directly change any player state except for the liveness of the theist player. Players without vote token proceed with no vote token.

Any behaviour of the story teller, such as giving info, signals, events in the game, must be according to the rules and any error by the story teller must be explained and corrected with a Deus Ex Fiasco, even when it happens multiple times.

Some abilities define the responsibility of lawful behaviour to be with the players themselves. In the official game it applies for: Banshee, Butler, everyone with Doomsayer, Golem, Moonchild, Zealot, voting despite no vote token, nominating when you cannot and possibly some travellers.

Madness is not turned into a rule. If madness is turned into a rule (rather than a condition), a violation against madness could also count as rule violation. However, treating it as such would be a heavy penalty and against the first of four main rules of the game (you may say anything anytime).

Accidental mistakes may happen to everyone. If a player confesses and regrets it, agrees to redemption/correction or credibly does penance, the story teller should condone it and make the player also win. A story teller may decide to not condone it when rule violations appeared several times and were significantly abused during the game, deliberately, even earlier in the game when the theist was not disabled/dead in betweeen.

When the story teller declares a player to lose, always explain why. Allow for a little discussion if necessary. In case of doubt, the story teller decides who wins and who loses.

A Theist is similar to an Atheist + Heretic but the story teller must not break rules, evil characters also exist and players lose when they deliberately break rules and the theist is in play.

Do never declare Deus Ex Fiasco for rule violations that you let pass. Players are now responsible to control/observe the rules regarding player behaviour. Use Deus Ex Fiasco only for accidental errors in your responsibility.

If both the theist and the atheist are in play, one of them is defective. You can figure it out by testing whether the atheist could be real (e.g. with a Fabled Gentleman).

If beginners joined the game, you must explain the rules of the roles such that they don't violate them accidentally. You should explain all characters on the script, including the Theist which allows players to covertly violate rules. Talk to them in private, when they broke the rules and let it slip from your mind for once. As the story teller, you should help people to understand and prevent rule violations where they desire it, even if you also allow for effective violations.

The Prophet is a medium of god (the game rule maker).

The Prophet obtains an extra game rule that is not active at the start of the game. The prophet gets the rule either before night 1, at night 1 or at day 1. The story teller will also restate the rule whenever the Prophet asks privately. (They could ask right before declaring it.) This means, activating the rule must make a difference from when it is inactive. Meta reasoning at this point is valid. The entirety of the game rule does not hold before it is active. However, the story teller may not define a rule about deactivating a secret game rule that wasn't declared yet.

The Prophet must be alive and claim the Prophet ability for declaring their game rule correctly. If they make multiple different declarations at a day, it will not be effective. The Prophet can retry the declaration at a new day (just for the case that it didn't work). If it is already active, the redeclaration has no effective.

The game rule activates as soon as the last one of two players learns about the prophet at night. The two players learn about it, no matter their personal state. They will learn it even if they have died by then. The game rule remains activated even when the Prophet is dead. One of these two players must be a good player (who is not the concerned Prophet) and one must be an evil player (who isn't the concerned Prophet either).

If the Prophet is drunk/poisoned, no player learns about the prophet and the game rule won't be active. The known game rule is still a valid inactive game rule. When the Prophet becomes sober/healthy again, they can retry the declaration. If the prophet dies in between their declaration and the prophet notification of 2 players, the notification will still happen together with the activation of the game rule.

When you get negated or false info (e.g. Vortox is in play or when dysinformed at the beginning), you start knowing a game rule that is already active, e.g. "Dead players get a vote token and may only vote when they have one vote token which is consumed when they vote." Then you can declare any rule which negates that rule specifically, e.g. "Dead players don't get a vote token" i.e. dead players cannot vote (unless Fabled Ferryman or the Voudon Traveller activates), or "Dead players may only not vote when they have one vote token" i.e. the dead player must have given their vote token to a beggar in order to be able to vote freely.

If a prophet is created or resurrected in the mid of a game, they still get an inactive game rule. The game rule must be inactive only when the character is refreshed due to game rules (i.e. if an obtained first-night info character would also yield new info). If the previous Prophet did not activate their game rule, the new Prophet may obtain the same game rule (or an entirely new one) as long as it is not active.

The initial game rule for the Prophet can be arbitrary except that it must not be active until activated by the Prophet. It might be a rule whose value depends on the current context or time of declaration, such as "All players' alignment will not change anymore until the game's end" or "No-one dies at the next night & day." Even rules such as "The Angel of Death is dead" could be valid when they are read as that character's player may only be dead from no, allowing for no resurrection.

The Drug Pusher pushes drugs to others, secretly drugging others on occassion.

See drugged state. A drugged player does not register as player for the nomination/voting rules and their attempt to vote does not count as vote. The drugged player is ignored for the nomination success condition.

If a dead player is chosen by the Drug Pusher, they obtain +1 vote token when the drugging state ends at dusk, even if they did not vote while being drugged. This allows dead players to vote again at a later day.

Dead players can only spend one vote token per nomination. Having multiple vote tokens only allows a dead player to ghost-vote 1 time at distinct nominations.

Don't let the player know that they are drugged.

The Brainwasher remote-controls abilities from other unaware players without being told which.

The chosen puppet player's abilities behave akin to drunk. This player counts as malfunctioning (e.g. for the Mathematician) but neither as drunk, poisoned nor curable. The effective actions of the puppet are decided by the Brainwasher instead. The Brainwasher also takes responsibility for these actions, e.g. when the Vampire Hunter or the Forensic detects the character or the Angle of Death kills a player who is responsible for a kill caused by the manipulated ability.

The Brainwasher is not notified about the abilities that they control. They have to interpret their ability when they wake up at night. They steal responsibility but neither control nor steal character nor alignment. The chosen actions behave exactly as when used by the original abillity owner (in the owner's player state) just that the Brainwasher decides the actions (ability inputs) and gets to see all "output" (info/signals) instead. The original owner doesn't know that the Brainwasher controls their abilities for the night+day. Their controlled state behaves for them like being drunk. You can only choose players who can become drunk. You can choose a traveller.

Consequentially, when the Brainwasher uses the abilities, they behave as if the original would use them now. The abilities do not refresh. A first-night info ability will not wake up at night.

Dead players (usually) have no abilities and choosing them has no effect. However, misregistering as dead does not mean that they misregister as having no abilities. The abilities of players can be controlled when they only misregister as dead. The Brainwasher's controlled abilities also will be drunk/poisoned/deranged etc. according to the player state of the chosen player. The Brainwasher still registers with their own player state, not with the one of their chosen player.

For the Brainwasher, any controlled evil character ability simply poisons the Brainwasher. This is a volatile state impairment (not curable). This means, the brainwasher's played ability is unreliable and must not match the actual ability of the evil character. Also, the evil character is not remote controlled but really uses their ability.

As story teller, help evil players by simulating bluffed abillities to the Brainwasher such that it supports the bluffs of the evil player (when possible).

Some abilities broadcast public signals (declarations at night) when used in a sober+healthy state or if specific actions happened. If the Brainwasher uses the ability of a sober+healthy player, the Brainwasher will spawn the signals. In this case, the controlled player may notice being controlled or otherwise suspects a deranged state (when the signals don't correspond with their own actions). This is correct behaviour and simply a drawback of the Brainwasher ability.

Jinxes

Jinx Physician/Psychatrist: A controlled state cannot be cured and prevented by the Physician/Psychatrist. Jinx Therapist: The therapist doesn't see the poisonedness if the Brainwasher is poisoned due to choosing an evil player until dusk. Jinx Mathematician: The Mathematician learns +1 for every controlled (possibly poisoned) ability which does not work this night. Jinx Soulmate: The Brainwasher can control the abilities of a (dead) Soulmate Vessel.

The Puppeteer swaps the entire outer appearance of two players and also overrides the actual character/alignment if one swapping player kills the other.

At night 2 and later nights, the Puppeteer chooses 2 players which may include the Puppeteer themself. These two players swap their full outer appearance towards other abilities. The accountability is swapped and each swapping player (falsely) registers as the character and alignment of the other swapping player.

However, the main goal of the Puppeteer is to change an evil player into good and let them spoil the demon player. This reward is granted if the Puppeteer chooses 2 players among who, one player will die during the swap and if the swap makes it appear as if someone of both players is accountable for their own death.

If the swap starts with an already dead player, this player cannot count as self-accountable for their death.

If one of the swapping partners is accountable for the own death, then the swap becomes genuine, i.e. manifests with actual properties. With a genuine swap, the character and alignment registration (volatilely) overrides the actual character and alignment for all game rules and abilities, including the winning conditions, as long as the swap continues to hold. In this case, the swap participants will get to know their new character and alignment from the swap.

A genuine swap cannot be altered by the Puppeteer. The Puppeteer does not wake up anymore. The swap will be preserved until the Puppeteer dies. The Puppeteer dies if anytime both swapping players (no matter whether genuine or not) have registered as dead.

If a Physician or Psychatrist chooses a swapping player, this swapping player does not register falsely and also is accountable for their own actions until next dusk. The other swapping player however still has swapped accountability and registered character and alignment.

When both players are dead while they are in an active swap of the Puppeteer, then the Puppeteer dies too.

If the Puppeteer is drunk/poisoned, the swap is suspended during this time (as if the Puppeteer is volatilely dead) and new choices at night have no effect. This also means, the Puppeteer does not die when the players who have been in the swap are dead (but would once they are sober+healthy again). If the Puppeteer is dyseffective, the Puppeteer's choice prevents that the 2 players could mutually register as the other player's alignment, character or accountability by any other abilities, e.g. when one of both players is the Copycat then the Copycat cannot get the accountability for the other player.

Jinx Puppet Theater (multiple Puppeteers): ??

When the Copycat accounts for someone's loss of abilities, the Copycat secretly turns them into a clone of someone else and accounts for them.

The cloning fails unknowingly when the clone source differs in alignment from the clone target.

The player who is turned into a clone is the "clone target player" and the player who serves as original is the "clone source player".

If the Copycat would account for someone's death, then their ability intercepts the death of the victim. (Akin to a protection ability.) The victim does not die, remains alive, but loses their abilities as if dead and becomes the clone target. The Copycat will wake up at night in the next occasion, sees this victim player and chooses 1 other player as clone source. It turns the victim into a clone of the chosen player, copying all abilities plus character. But if the effect of cloning ends, the clone player is released (i.e. turns) into the previous state (a dead state when killed and their death is declared).

When waking up the Copycat, the story teller points to 1 player. The Copycat must choose 1 other player. All state, character and alignment are copied from the chosen player to the player pointed by the story teller.

The Copycat can wake up for the same player multiple times successively during the game – e.g. when the Copycat would account for the death of the current alive clone (executing the same player again). In this case, the Copycat may turn the player again into a fresh clone of another alive player.

When the Copycat prevents the death by turning someone into a clone, the clone might start to misregister as dead, either immediately, in the night after tonight or at a later point before the clone relation ends. (This feature is supposed to help bluffing the Copycat by making it publicly indistinguishable from a normal death!)

If a clone misregisters as dead, it is declared by the story teller in the public but the clone would still be able to use their cloned abilities. A clone, even though misregistering as dead, is still alive and can be killed like everyone else.

Any player who cannot die due to a protection ability also doesn't lose their abilities. A copycat who fails to kill a player due to protection cannot trigger the cloning.

The story teller may not tell whether the Copycat or another protection ability is accountable for the undeadly execution.

If a player becomes a clone of a dead player, the clone player also dies (if not already dead) and is bound to the dead state. When the clone relation ends, the player will remains dead, the life state doesn't change.

When the Copycat intercepts the death of a player, death consequences don't trigger. They only trigger when the clone target player actually dies.

Despite being a copy of someone else, the clone is completely autonomous, their actions and changes of state solely depend on the clone player and are not synchronized or anything. The clone maker accounts for the clone's actions, that is the Copycat player.

When the Copycat is drunk/poisoned, the current clone relation ends (if applicable) but does not resume when the drunkness/poisoning disappears. When the Copycat is dysinformed, they see the wrong player when waking up. When dyseffective, the cloning might only work among different teams. It might also negate the copied player state and not copy character and alignment.

Optional Rules

Optional: the story teller might wake up the Copycat multiple times for multiple or all players who lost their abilities due to the Copycat between last and current dawn. (The story teller decides whether they can handle the story telling overhead.)

The Prodigy is a miracle and does the work of multiple people.

The prodigy knows their characters. These characters are not in play. They have them all at the same time, similar to how the Hermit has Outsider abilities. The story teller may use the Prodigy to provide a challenge for both teams. At least one Townsfolk character neither provides direct or inferrable info/signals about other players. Inferrable information is one that can be inferred from signals or effects which are linked to certain meaning in an ability, e.g. the death caused by a Gossip or Gambler. Examples of characters without direct and indirect information are protection characters like the Innkeeper, the Physician or the Psychatrist but also effect characters without inferred info about character, alignment or impairments such as the Attorney, the Arrester or the Imbecile, and mechanics characters such as a Prophet or Theist.

As compensation, the evil players may get additional minion characters. These characters are distributed among the evil players and may turn evil Townsfolk or evil Outsiders into minions who then also get minion info at night 1.

The prodigy wakes up separately for each character that they have at night and may use any of their characters at day. They should name their character in order to use it. In the same way, the story teller names the character that currently plays when they wake up the Prodigy. (This is like with "Pandemon".)

It's not possible to have some characters impaired and others not. The player state concerns all abilities.

When created in the mid of the game, the story teller needs to choose and give the new Prodigy at least 2 Townsfolk characters. These characters should not be in play but two Prodigys may have equal characters if there is no other possibility.

When the Prodigy player is queried for their character by abilities, the story teller must choose the character that helps the team of the Prodigy most. It cannot be the Prodigy however.

Jinxes: All but one Prodigy characters are removed from the Grimoire when a Grimoire-seeing character use their ability.

The Attorney decides about life and death and refines state changes concerning the life state of players.

When the Attorney is in play, players can have more than 1 life. The life count of each person is non-negative. The Attorney can choose any player including themself and evil players. Whenever a change/effect would have happend to the death state of a player, it now decreases the life state as integer. The death state still is binary and is queried by comparing the life state against zero. Zero means dead, non-zero means alive.

The integer-based life states are kept even when the Attorney is dead. The Attorney cannot affect alignment, character or any state beyond the life count.

When the Attorney ability gets disabled, inactive, lost etc. – e.g. when the character is swapped, when the player gets drunk/poisoned – after it was active at least once, then any death events or kills decrease a life count to zero instead of decreasing them by 1. When the Attorney is dyseffective, the first player is prevented from losing 1 life (a stronger protection ability than those who protect against death) while the 2nd player is prevented from obtaining 1 life.

As the Attorney, if you take a life away of a player with 1 life left, they die. If you move a life to a dead player, that player is resurrected (like with a Professor). If you choose a dead player as your first player, if you choose two times the same player or if the first player is protected from dying and cannot lose their last life, then nothing happens. You may choose yourself but if your life count is zero, you are dead and cannot use your ability anymore.

Characters/abilities which cause state changes that would normally lead to death or a kill, are changed to remove only one life. On the other hand, querying the death state is unchanged. If one life is removed, it doesn't count publicly as dying or being killed. If a player with > 1 life is executed and loses 1 life, it will appear as if an execution is not deadly. Characters/abilities such as Monk, Innkeeper or Sailor who prevent players from dying will only protect their last life but not additional ones.

Optional Rules

Optional: the Attorney might choose before the demon, even arbitrarily. If that is the case and if the Demon then chooses the same player that the Attorney chose first, the Attorney will give one life from themself to their first chosen player. The Story Teller does not need to reveal this rule to be in play.

The Arrester could ignite a 2nd execution simultaneously before they could die from execution.

The Arrester ability works independently of life/death. The only criterion is, that the Arrester's execution is finally decided and that the chosen player has different alignment, no matter whether the Arrester's execution is deadly or not. The additional execution caused by the Arrester behaves like any normal execution which the Arrester would account for, i.e. it is not deadly, if and only if a normal execution of that player (by the Arrester) would not be deadly.

The Arrester's caused execution doesn't have to immediately follow but must happen at the end of the same day. Usually, this is the case after one execution has taken place. However, if nomination is still possible, the nominations would precede the arrester's caused execution.

The Arrester is not required to use their ability. If the

As Arrester, if you are executed multiple times (for example when previous executions were not deadly), you can only choose 1 player at one execution. If you resurrect, your ability refreshes like other abilities would and you can use it again one time until your death.

If the Arrester is dyseffective, they might also execute players in the same team or prevent the execution of that player if that player would otherwise be executed together with the Arrester (like with the Fabled Trustmaker or if multiple executions can take place at a day, e.g. with Butcher or Leviathan). A player who cannot be executed will not be executed when they usually would. The story teller declares that the player is not executed (and may explain that this is due to an ability), that the 2nd best valid candidate is executed instead and/or allows for the continuation of nominations if applicable.

The Genie fulfils one wish, possibly with trade-offs.

With Genie in the script, the Story Teller is allowed to introduce game rules any time, even if Genie is not in play. The story teller may (and possibly should) declare introduced new game rules beyond changes of alignment, character or lives.

The Story Teller doesn't need to add trade-offs, if the wish's power is sufficiently small, suitable for a good ability. For example, if the Genie wishes to use an existing good player ability or become a good character then you usually don't need trade offs.

In order to make a wish, the Genie must claim their ability and make a wish, publicly. The wish may only take effect if wellformed. A wellformed wish may have:

• 1 proper sentence in the main language that you use for communication in the game. Everyone must be able to comprehend your wish, hence it should not be any secret or encrypted language and have a comprehensible meaning.
• at most 2 predicates (i.e. verb-phrases, not counting introductory language such as "I am the Genie" and the "I wish that" clause).
• no "and"-connectives and alike and no negations of "and"s. E.g. not allowed: "neither-nor", "not either", "as well as", etc.
• "or"-connectives are fine but the story teller chooses only one of the alternatives and discards the other
• no extra wishes
• no recursive wishes (a wish that references itself)
• no grimoire interaction
• the wish can be executed by changing anything among the number of evil players +1, using their actions. Only the Story Teller can judge this. Therefore, the Genie should ask before they make a public wish.

The ability must be bluffable. The effects of the wish cannot uniquely change story telling or public signals or knowledge mediated by the Story Teller (such as declarations) and cannot wish for being confirmed by the Story Teller.

The effects of the wish require all witnesses to be or become evil to prevent players from publicly confirming the ability. The trade-off also might involve getting 1 more evil player than before.

The Story Teller must help players to fake a Genie. When the Story Teller answers or responds to a real Genie, they also must do that the same way for a bluffed Genie.

The Story Teller may change registration instead of actual properties or state of a player. This works even with good players as they don't have to be informed about registration changes.

No player can have the Genie character 2 times. This also prevents having multiple wishes as one player. On the other hand, the Genie ability can be refreshed on resurrection of the player.

You can make a wish only once, pulicly. When it wasn't successful, you cannot make another wish. The story teller does not say if the wish is successful or not and at which price. Most important is, the story teller chooses trade offs to reduce the advantage for the good team.

Optional Rules

Optionally: The Story Teller is allowed to lie or deceive the public as a respose to the Genie request (such that players don't know if the wish is real or not). This could go as far as faking deaths or executions plus a fake resurrection later on (during the night). When the fake death concerns an evil player (who may lie), others won't be able to discern whether the death was staged or the resurrection is a trade-off of the wish. (Giving false info publicly and giving correct info privately at night.) This would also happen if a player bluffs.

The Crusader is a Soldier who fights for the truth. The Soldier ability says that the Crusader cannot die from the demon except if they lie.

See game info.

At the first time when the Crusader tries to make other players believe (convincing them about) misinformation about the game session or the game, their penality triggers in the night after this day or in this night. If the demon chooses "yes", the Crusader dies and is also reponsible for their death (not the demon).

If the Crusader is directly responsible that other players treat misinformation as most likely (i.e. convincing players about misinformation mostly), it still counts as madness. This might happen if the Crusader uses meta reasoning and convinces others by that.

As story teller, you may not trigger the Crusader ability due to wrong statements about non-game info, such as wrong statements about the real world or persons. But if you catch the Crusader at failing their madness within the bounds of the game world, you should trigger the penality as soon as possible at night.

The story teller person is not considered to be game info or related to the game state. The story teller is a meta entity that runs the game but is not a player. A story teller exists inside the game world but it's a dead NPC who doesn't do anything.

The Crusader character is actually useful as it makes players practice information and communication competence. Often, spreading misinformation as a good player hurts the own team. This character creates an incentive to suppress this.

The story teller might spare the Crusader from the penality when the Crusader notices false information they said about the game, regret it and correct it before the penality triggers.

The Frankenstein is not really a living being.

The first night for Frankenstein to register as dead is either night 1 or night 2. Abilities who may only choose or affect alive players, then they may not choose the alive Frankenstein at day/night 2, 4, 6 or otherwise at day/night 1, 3, 5 etc. This could be interesting with the Doomsayer, the Scarlet Woman or a Tea Lady.

The Frankenstein ability cannot be or get drunk or poisoned. Thus, it cannot be used for abilities that use a drunk ability (such as the Outsider Drunk, the Punk or the Marionette). If they would become drunk or poisoned, it has no effect on this ability. An innkeeper may not choose a Pope with a Frankenstein and – if the Fabled Patron is in play – only a Frankenstein.

Your strongest weapon is that you aren't a typical living being. If Frankenstein would get drunk or poisoned, they don't.

The Frankenstein is slightly different from Zombuul's apparent death. Zombuul overtly registers as dead, which means, the death is declared and also publicly depicted at such. This does not happen with the Frankenstein. People believe, Frankenstein is alive but Frankenstein might not register this way.

When the Frankenstein is dyseffective, the Frankenstein is drunk and poisoned, all the time, therefore registers like a player without ability.

The Gourmet tastes the trustworthiness of other players.

The idea of the Gourmet is to figure out whether the utterances of a player can be trusted at this day.

Due to the food experience, the sober Gourmet ability does not permit the player to become drunk from other abilities but the player can get poisoned. However, the Gourmet ability itself can be drunk.

Impairing states are those which allow or make an ability to work abnormally (different from the normal unimpaired ability): dunk, poisoned, dysinformed (when info was obtained), dyseffective (when player states effects were emitted), deranged (dysinformed, dyseffective), anti, sick, unconscious. These are called impairments, even when produced by the own ability, e.g. the Nihilist.

Schizophrenic, imbecile, muted, paralysed and mad players have normally functioning abilities, when they are not additionally impaired by other "impairing states".

The Gourmet is very strong and cannot be deceived by registered characters or alignment, unless a player would misregisters as having specific good abilities (which does not happen with official characters). A chosen spy gets a "no" because they might register as a good character but they don't register as having a good ability.

When Vortox is in play, the Gourmet gets a "no" only for players with well-working non-info good abilities (because no Townsfolk info-ability works and therefore yields a "yes").

When the Gourmet is dyseffective, they are drunk (the opposite of sober) and their ability does not work, i.e. the player is like any player without ability. When they are (also) dysinformed, they still get only false info (like drunk players with Vortox).

The mentalist reads the mind of other players.

At night 2 and later nights, the Mentalist sees 1 player selected by the story teller. This player might have been asked by the Story Teller to rate a statement or answer a question at the same night, today or yesterday. Tonight (if applicable) or today when the Mentalist visits the story teller privately, they should answer the same statement or questions by choosing an answer option. The story teller doesn't let them talk to other players before answering it. The Mentalist may reject to answer and cancel their ability today. Then, they may only retry using their ability at the next day. But if the guess is accepted and correct, they get the pointed player's ability immediately. If the guess is accepted and wrong, they get any drunk ability (without knowing it).

If the Mentalist gets an ability, their previously obtained ability is replaced but they keep the Mentalist character which continues to learn players at night.

Any other player could be selected, also evil and dead players. The story teller might also ask a selected player about their bluff to be used when the Mentalist gives a wrong answer. When the selected player answers a letter or digit, the story teller might inform them about the alternative choices that will be offered to the Mentalist.

The story teller is not required to choose a new question/statement at any day/night. They are not even required to select a new player at any day/night. These can be the same until the Mentalist made a guess but they may change as well.

As answer scale for personal statements and questions, I recommend the use of 4 to 5 answer options. It's good to use 0 (low extent) to 4 (high extent) for rating statements, such that a blind guess is still sufficiently probable. Some other questions allow for letters or digits. In questions with free choices, the story teller should give answer options for the mentalist of which only one is correct.

Selected players should (but don't have to) respond to statements and questions truthfully, concerning their genuine reality. The Story Teller keeps any answers secret and tells them nobody, not even the Mentalist after guessing or after the game. The Story Teller only decides whether the answer is close enough to register as correct or wrong answer for triggering the Mentalist ability.

The Story Teller doesn't have to approach the selected player and may use statements or questions that the Story Teller already knows.

The reward for guessing right is to obtain a real ability which might be even an evil ability such that two of them are in play. The guessed player does not change and doesn't notice if the Mentalist guessed right.

Some abilitys may specifically disallow two of them to be in play. Players with such ability are not chosen by the Story Teller for the Mentalist.

When the Mentalist guesses an answer while being poisoned/drunk, then the answer always counts as false and the Mentalist obtains a drunk ability. In this case, the Mentalist may see an arbitrary player at night (who is not asked by the Story Teller).

When the Mentalist is dysinformed, they get to see a wrong player, one that was not asked by the story teller.

In the dyseffective state, if the Mentalist guesses correctly, they don't get the ability of the guessed player – they either do not change their character or they get any other character (the story teller chooses). If the Mentalist guesses falsely, they don't get a drunk ability – either no character change or any other character (the story teller chooses).

One of the most valuable properties of the Mentalist probably is that players can "confirm" the Mentalist to be in play with meta reasoning. In theory, the story teller may hide the Mentalist by asking fake questions in every game with a Mentalist on the script. However, they don't need to do that. The story teller isn't required to hide the Mentalist ability for players who are asked. The story teller doesn't explicitly tell people about the mentalist (at least towards good players) but you don't have to keep up an illusion that is strenuous to achieve. It's valid for asked players to conclude with meta reasoning that a Mentalist likely is in play due to the Story Teller's question. It's an open secret.

The Shaman tries to learn player characters by contacting recently demon-killed people.

The Shaman may choose 0, 1 or more players per night. They must choose the exact set of players who die from the demon, not less and not more, in order to trigger their reward. The reward may trigger at most once per game. The Shaman chooses after the demon ability because this way, the Story Teller is not responsible for the success of the Shaman when the Story Teller chooses the demon kills.

The Shaman may only guess when there are at least 4 players alive before the night onsets. In order to guess demon targets correctly, the targeted players don't need to die during the night – e.g. when protected at night or when chosen by Pukkha – but the Shaman needs to point to exactly all the players, not less and not more.

When any ability prevents the demon from acting or killing, then the demon targets are no players. This is also the case when the Werwolf Alpha kills.

If Shaman guesses right while drunk/poisoned, the story teller could show any characters. This counts as having used the Shaman ability. After that they don't wake up again. If the Shaman is dysinformed and guesses right, they get to see the same number of any characters that are not among the alive players – characters of dead players or not-in-play characters. The dyseffective state doesn't alter the ability.

The Shaman does not learn the link between players and characters, only the characters. They don't learn what people were actually killed by the demon at night.

The Actress sees through people and notices when they are not authentic.

For the Actress ability, being mad about false game-related info is defined as a statement of any player that tries to make others believe – or convince of – a false game-related information. For this definition, the intension or purpose is ignored. It should be equivalent to the condition of the Crusader that triggers a penality for them. Wrong statements about non-game-related or properly differentated (conditional) game-related statements are not false statements.

A false statement is public if a player says it while the players have gathered around at the circle of chairs – even if someone left for the toilet.

The Actress does not learn which alive players made false statements and how many false statements were made but how many players made false statements.

A drunk/poisoned Actress might get false info (a false number). A dysinformed Actress (like with Vortox) always gets false info.

The dyseffective state does not affect the Actress.

The Robber extorts information from a desparate opponent.

The Robber's reward equals the one of the Puzzlemaster. The Robber's ability doesn't give you any additional tools for killing other players. Without any additional abilities, the Robber can only kill someone by nominating them except when they obtain the accountability of another kill or with additional abilities.

If the Robber is drunk/poisoned, they likely get false info. If they are dysinformed, they only get false info and get false info when they would get Clan Boss info. The dyseffective state has no effect with the Robber.

The Clown tries to be hilarious.

Important, the Clown's ability only works publicly at the day before the night, when the people gathered at the circle of chairs, not in private talks. The Clown's registration of evil alignment is detected by abilities and does not change the actual alignment of the Clown for the game rules.

It may count that the Clown tries to be funny, hilarious or ironious even if most people don't actually laugh. If the story teller thinks, it was genuinely funny for at least one player different from the Clown, i.e. the funnyness is convincable or believable, they get to see one more player and their character at night. The story teller might also decide that it is only funny if also someone has laughed. A Clown can see multiple players at night. The Story Teller chooses which. (If the story teller thinks, a joke was weak or did not add much compared to the other jokes at the previous day, then the Story Teller might show a player again that they already showed to the Clown.)

For the gag, any medium is fine as the Story Teller decides. It may work for the Clown to show a meme, image or video on a phone or display besides a funny face, response or reaction.

The Clown does not wake up at night when they did not try enough and was not successful enough about making gags/jokes at the previous day.

The Clown cannot falsely register as evil at night 1.

The Survivor is a daredevil who tries to survive people who they double claimed.

The Survivor extends the Steward. Knowing a good player is helpful for the Survivor as it can help to double claim the good player's character.

At night 1, you learn one good player but not their character.

If the Survivor most recently and publicly claimed or confirmed being a player's character before that player did, then the Survivor gets to know 1 dead player (evil or good) plus their character at night after the character's owner has died. For learning new players you only have to make a double claim (or triple claim or …). You don't have to kill the real character owner by yourself. The accountability does not matter.

The reward should be based on the effort or luck that the Survivor made. Surviving a double claim can be difficult, especially when the Survivor is on the script (and is killed by the Demon). Therefore, the Survivor may learn an important dead player, such as a minion or a character whose confirmation has a high value for the good team.

The claim must be made in the public when the players are at the circle of chairs. Only the last claim counts as the claim for the Survivor, the claim gets invalid if the Survivor refuses it later on, and only the registered character of a player must be claimed for the reward to be triggered.

The Survivor only learns characters that players register as and also only must claim the character that players register as.

If the Survivor is drunk/poisoned, they might see an evil player or a false character as reward or might be rewarded with false info when they would not be rewarded normally.

If the Survivor is dysinformed, the rewards are real but deliver false info. The shown player might be (covertly) alive or might not register as the character that the Survivor sees.

Optional Rules

Optional: as story teller, you might require madness for the claim to count. If you do, you must tell the Survivor player about it. This will make it much harder to survive, because madness requires to actively convince others, even in private talks, and the Story Teller must not notice that the madness is violated.

The Forensic investigates who kills other players but only gets the character type correct.

To the Forensic, each accountable character is represented by another character of the same character type of the script. This registration can be abitrary and change even if the registered minion/demon character didn't change. The shown character might be in play or not. The Forensic only can exclude that exactly this character accounted for a kill and knows that the character type is correct.

At the night, the Forensic learns about the characters of all the players who account for nominations that killed someone at the previous day. However, the Forensic only wakes up after the demon.

When no more people die at night, wake up the Forensic and let them choose one player (dead or alive). If this player is attacked/killed tonight, they learn the character of the accountable player.

In the dysinformed state, the Forensic might either learn entirely correct characters or entirely false characters.

The dyseffective state has no effect on the Forensic.

The Clairvoyant knows and disables active jinxes.

See active jinxes.

Each night (starting at the 2nd night relative to the Clairvoyant ability), the Clairvoyant chooses a dead or alive player to enable or disable any jinxes on the script and official jinxes which are related to this player. The disabled jinx remains disabled until another jinx is disabled by the Clairvoyant or until the Clairvoyant ability is removed.

Every night, the Clairvoyant sees the number of currently active Jinxes. It happens after they choose a player. A jinx must be enabled to allow for activation.

At least one jinx must be enabled in the setup for the Clairvoyant to be included in it.

Disabling specific jinxes can be very strong for the evil team. Therefore, while the Clairvoyant has their ability, they win only with the good team, even if they are evil. If the Clairvoyant dies (and is evil), they don't win with the good team anymore.

Optional Rules

Optional: the Clairvoyant might work with optional rules of abilities instead of Jinxes. In this case, the Clairvoyant can enable or disable any optional rules of the chosen player. Only optional rules of in-play abilities count as being enabled or active, allowing the Clairvoyant to conclude that characters are in play or not. This optional rule can be used if there are no or barely any jinxed characters in play.

The alternative to the Farmer: a character without ability.

The Vagrant counts either as Townsfolk, as Outsider or as Traveller (independent of whether they have a Traveller ability) but only one of them throughout the game. They don't start knowing what character type and Traveller ability they have or if they have one. They might have a Traveller ability even if they don't count as Traveller player.

If the Vagrant counts as Traveller player or has a Traveller ability, they are exiled instead of executed and dead players can nominate them.

Any number of Vagrants can be in the setup.

Some traveller abilities automatically reveal themself. This is fine. Some traveller abilities might not be noticable for the Vagrant. This is fine too. The story teller purposefully may choose an unnoticable Traveller, e.g. the Gunslinger, when they want to have a Townsfolk or Outsider that is exiled instead of executed. The Gunslinger character officially mentions that the story teller can hint at the Gunslinger player when they can use their Gunslinger ability. If you want them to know their ability, you can do that.

Optional Rules

Optional: The story teller might give the Vagrant a Traveller ability. This rule exists so avoid annoyance by Vagrant players. In this case, the execution counts as exile, not as execution.

The Samurai detects Outsiders by killing them.

Extra rule: all Samurai players of same alignment only kill 1 player together. The killed outsider must be the only most chosen outsider among all chosen outsiders tonight. A Samurai increases the count of a player, if they choose the player when the player registers as Outsider to this specific Samurai. If multiple outsiders have the highest count or if no player has a count of greater than 0, the Samurai (of a team) don't kill.

The Samurai count as Townsfolk or as Outsider in the setup but register as both character types for the whole game. They also register as both character types when dead. Therefore, a Drunk may believe to be a Samurai and a Samurai may be a Polymath.

Any number of Samurai can be in the setup after all.

Samurai players only kill players who (also) register as Outsider. Thus, they can kill other Samurai or themself.

Note, the Daimyō allows Samurai to get notified about their death.

When dyseffective, chosen outsiders are not killed but protected tonight and possibly the next day.

Jinx Godfather: when the Samurai kills an outsider, the godfather does not wake up to kill. (The Samurai acts after the Godfather.)
